Students make models of protiens using wire and paperclips. They are given step by step instructions with lots of information about proteins throughout the directions. They make the three basic structual elements of proteins;...

Students explain the concepts of what DNA is and where it is located in a cell, identify the two types of molecules that make up the rungs of a DNA molecule and identify the two types of Purine and Pyrimidine molecules

Matching and fill-in-the-blank exercises give biology whizzes a chance to practice vocabulary associated with evolution. Terms to be reviewed focus on evidence for evolution, natural selection concepts, and some genetics words. You could...

Students create a model of DNA and relate it to the differences between individual people in their nitrogen base sequences. They analyze a crime scenario in which they perform several different types of tests.

Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.

Students prepare PowerPoint presentation on DNA and cells. In this biology lesson plan, students create a storyboard of their presentation. They share the finished project in class. 

Students summarize their classmates' presentation in class. For this biology lesson, students create a graphic organizer based on concepts presented. They discuss and share their organizer.

Students research different areas of biotechnology. In this biology lesson, students create a presentation about their research. They debate the topic presented and share their views on the subject.

Students extract DNA from split peas. In this biology lesson plan, students research how chromatin form into chromosomes. They draw the stages and present their work in class.

In this chromosome instructional activity students complete a crossword puzzle by answering questions on DNA, nucleic acids, nucleotides and RNA.  

Students study genetic traits using popsicle sticks as chromosomes. In this biology lesson, students explain how traits are inherited from parents. They differentiate dominant and recessive genes.

Young scholars extract their own DNA from cheek cells. In this biology instructional activity, students explain the replication process. They identify the structure and composition of DNA.

Young scholars explore the DNA of strawberries. In this science instructional activity, students extract the DNA of strawberries. Young scholars complete a lab report.

Students identify DNA in a crime scenario. For this DNA lesson, students perform paper chromatography and compare it against the pens of various suspects.

Young scholars extract the DNA from a strawberry. In this DNA technology lesson plan, students describe what they think DNA looks like. They use a procedure to isolate and extract the DNA from a strawberry.

In this using the internet worksheet, students search several websites to review information about the heart, human senses, the solar system, and planets. Students also read information about the rock cycle and answer provided questions.
